Tell me, what do you think a policy is in a grocery store with a pharmacy in the back of the store:
A customer who is shopping suddenly sits down, looking in distress, for about 20 minutes or more...... there is 1 staff in the pharmacy (behind a locked door), a store clerk walks by and several other customers, but no one stops or asks if there is anything wrong.......
This happened to me today. I'm fine now, but I was having stabbing pains in my head (not a headache), pains in my chest, both sides front and back, and they were enough to make me weep.
I think they saw someone crying (not sobbing, just tears running down my cheeks) and decided not to interfere...... I was scared and the pains hurt! I waited until they subsided and slowly went to the checkout at about 1/2 speed.
When I got home, my DH got the groceries and asked if there was anything he could do. There wasn't - the worst had passed. About an hour I started to *burp* and I think that's all I needed, but in the meantime, I was really scared....
I can understand why the pharmacist didn't leave the counter - they have to be wary of theives stealing pharmaceuticals, but why didn't she ask or call someone to assist? A friend of mine is a manager there, and I called his house & left a message to see what the policy is, but surely there is Something in place.......

I think the policy is in effect EVERYWHERE Susuan .. it's called 'HUMAN KINDNESS' , and, unfortunately it seems you got into a situation in a place where none existed.
I think that after a few minutes had gone by, I would have 'flagged down' someone with my hand .. the pharmacy can be locked, and, they have security.
I feel bad you had to go through such an experience.
Cold morning .. busy day
Welcome to OCTOBER !!!!

Susan, next time, no sitting wondering if someone will come to your rescue, give a big yell!!!
On the cool side here as well.
Making out a grocery list for thanksgiving, maybe that way I'll not forget anything.
Have to pick up pie pumpkins for sure..on Saturday following a truck that had A pumpkin on it, I wondered just how many pumpkin pies I could have made out of it..lol
Picked a little gobbler to add to my fall collection and after I purchased it thought why would I do that when I have 5 totes full to the brim that haven't come out yet and likely not to??
I would have, Betty, if I had the strength to.....
Thing is, I had chest pains before and got a heart checkup (1 yr ago) and stress test and they just said I need to lose weight because I couldn't do the eliptical for very long, but my heart was fine. This has been dealt with a couple of times.
Still going camping - think it's just stress from all that's been going on and the sheer busy-ness of the season. Just wait until Easter-time...... busiest time of the Church year...... yikes!
